BAE Systems 8,000 tonne ship lift can accommodate vessels that are up to 150 metres in length and 24.5 metres beam. The ship lift provides access to a number of fully-serviced dry berths via a rotary turntable. This gives us flexibility to dock and undock multiple vessels which help our clients meet stringent docking schedules.

Many of the vessels we service at Henderson operate in the oil and gas industry and are deployed off the North West coast of Western Australia. Typically they consist of offshore and infield supply vessels, anchor handlers and geophysical research vessels. We also support the ports and their operators with the docking of tugs, dredging vessels, fueling barges, cargo and livestock vessels.
